Luxury Apartment on the Ile de la Cité

Neighbourhood

The 4th arrondissement is in the center of Paris. It is very touristy, including half the island of the City (with Notre-Dame Cathedral), all St. Louis Island plus a good part of the Marais, on the right bank. In the daytime, its stone architecture and narrow medieval streets are admired. On foot, make a detour by the island of the city, the cradle of Paris. Seat of power for many centuries, the island of the city is the perfect place for a walk. Get away and discover the Sainte-Chapelle of Louis IX, the prisons of the Conciergerie or the cathedral of Notre Dame, the most visited monument in France! The 4th arrondissement is full of historical buildings and monuments: churches, synagogues, libraries, perfect for cultural lovers, and do not forget to visit the Pompidou Center. For shopping enthusiasts, go through Rue des Francs Bourgeois (between the III and IV arrondissement) where you will find shops of clothing and various accessories. There are many restaurants in the 4th arrondissement, especially in the Marais, on the Saint-Louis Island, and in the vicinity of the Center Pompidou. If you are looking for high-end, try the northeast part of Bastille. Drop the tourist catchers near Notre-Dame, on the Ile de la Cité: it will be expensive, of a relative quality, little imaginative and probably crowded tourists without imagination. On the other hand, you can stop just about anywhere on Saint Louis Island, the prices will be surprisingly reasonable and the kitchen rather simple and healthy.
